I really want to play spoiler against the Nets. We better win this game.

[NYKnicks15]

as much as i want to make it to the lottery id always take a win over New Jersey...i hate NJ!!! anyway GO KNICKS!


look at Krstic hes so goofy looking man haha

[Peach_NYK_21]

lol, he has a bandaid over his eye, he does look doofy... well, i think this is going to be a very good game, as we have had a lot of games over the week, we now have rest, and should be able to exploit some matchups.... i think sweetney can post up collins, and krstic is going to be reluctant to come out and guard KT, so we should be able to get him out of the paint, or get KT his shots, its going to be a good game

[Brian_Coleman_21]

There is this one Net fan at my school and he pisses me off so much. Whenever he passes me he goes, "Lets Go Knicks" in a sarcastic way and I just want to punch him in the face. Anyway, I want to go to the lottery and get a great pick but losing to the Nets sucks.

[gknick11]

Next time you see him, punch him in the face. That'll shut him up.

[Brian_Coleman_21]

Yah, I wish I would but I don't wanna get suspended.

[Peach_NYK_21]

yeah, lets just hope we'll win this for bragging rights, then we wont have to go punching net fans.. even though that might be fun.

[sweetnyfan]

GOOOO KNICKSSS

[Peach_NYK_21]

i think it will be a tight game.. as long as sweets and Kt dont get in foul trouble early, i think we can take this easily... i say 105-98, they get back in the game late, but marbury has a great battle with kidd

[Peach_NYK_21]

Stephhooonnn Maaarbburryyy!!! what a sequence to end the first quarter.. crawford missed a floater, vaughn was taking it up court, then stolenby marbury who banked in a three from wayy down town.. he is a beast, knicks up 23-18 at the end of the furst qurater

[Brian_Coleman_21]

Yah, that was crazy. First of all, Crawford should have made that layup and then Marbury comes out of now where and gets the steal. Then he just gets the longg three up and banks hit home.Wow, what a turn of events at the end of the first quarter. We have to carry this momentum into the second quarter and second half.

[Brian_Coleman_21]

Well we just lost a heartbreaker. Damn, I want to go to the lottery but a tough loss like this still stings.

Did you see at the end, Malik was held by Vince.

[Trin_Starr]

That **** pissed me off.
Carter was holding friggin Rose down, and the refs didn't call **** - It would have been an easy tip in for Malik because there was still 1.5s on shot clock when the ball hit the rim.

But it may as well be a blessing in disguise cause we have just increased our chances of getting a higher pick in the draft.

[pbjb14]

toronto won so that gets us one spot higher in the lottery chances
